My Christmas season

christmas2933008_1280.jpg

It's almost Christmas. The holiday season is mostly about family, fun and food. Everyone seems to be in a good mood. I want to have a wonderful Christmas even though I am grieving and wish I could share this holiday season with my entire family. This year end I will have to stay at home with my children and husband, as my little boy is still on bed rest after being recently operated and we cannot make long trips to where my parents live, that makes me very sad because most of the years we spend together, but we all understand that it is for a just cause.

However, this will not be an impediment to make these days happy together with them, my eldest son always asks me mom, you are not going to make hallacas right, because you are sad? It leaves me thinking and reflecting, how to say no, if I thank GOD that we are alive and healthy, that I have to prepare them, he still does not understand how we feel when we lose a loved one, the truth I raise my spirits and tell him that yes we will continue to ignite the flame of joy that is in us, we will not let ourselves be wrapped by sadness because when we love there is that engine that gives us the strength to get up and run. We will make that delicious dinner on Christmas Eve in the name of God, we will wait for the arrival of the baby Jesus, and we will give part of this delicious dinner to our relatives as well.

I think of those who left in such a hurry, I see the sky and the stars, I will only imagine that they went on a long journey and I will see them soon, this Christmas I will raise my glass of wine and together with my family I will say it was a pleasure to have shared a lifetime with you that this Christmas will not be the same, but it will make us better human beings with a great heart full of humility, peace, love.

Culminating we will cover ourselves with a big hug as a family to strengthen our ties and ask that the light of hope always shines in us and in the whole world.

Thank you very much for your words, I still wish you a nice Christmas, if what happens to my son is nothing serious, he just has to rest for a long time and travel is prohibited, in the same way from now on, I am sure that I will have a great time with him my family with the favor of God. Thanks for the support😊

All the best wishes for a speedy recovery and healing for your son while he rest and repair after the operation. Although you cannot see the extended family - having a good time with your immediate family can be very special. You will create nice memories together as you handle the situation making it as fun as you can.

As you mentioned, losing loved ones can be very hard. We keep going and enjoy the nice memories of them while ensuring that we love and cherish the moments with those they left behind.

I totally agree. Your story is a touching one and I can only hope your son gets better soon. In sad situations, we must try to embrace the joy and most of all, enjoy the season of celebrating the birth of Jesus. Thanks for sharing your story. Take care. 😊

So sorry about your son's health status. I'm really glad that he made it through the operation even though he has not recovered fully.

You guys might not be able to travel to celebrate the season with your extended families but I still believe that you, your husband and kids will have fun together.
All the best .
